In 1885, the Mousekewitzes, a Jewish-Russian family of mice
have to escape their homeland to America because of the persecution brought on
by the Czarist cats. Fievel Mousekewitz (voiced by Phillip Glasser) is thrown
overboard during a storm that hits the boat and his family are heartbroken
thinking they have lost their youngest son forever.

However, Fievel floats to New York in a bottle and receives
guidance from Henri the pigeon (voiced by Christopher Plummer), and to his
dismay discovers that cats exist in America too, as he begins his quest to find
his family. As he searches for his family he makes a lot of new friends, and
has a great idea of how to start a rebellion against the gang of cats, the Mott
Street Maulers, who are terrorizing the mice of New York. Filled with amazing
music, including Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt's 'Somewhere Out There', An
American Tail is a heart-warming tale that will captivate the whole
family.
